"Reprinted from the Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society, 1879-83." Leighton, politician and antiquary was deeply interested in religious education, he also helped to reorganize the school for Welsh children of both sexes which had existed in London under the auspices of the Society of Antient Britons since 1715. The Elementary Education Act of 1870 rendered superfluous its original purpose, and mainly through Leighton's initiative it was converted in 1882 into a school for the secondary education of girls of Welsh parentage at Ashford in Middlesex.
